Although the shipper in me keeps insisting that it's all due to Archie's devastating loss...
I too have persistent strong feelings on that issue.
It would make sense if the change occurred before (the majority of) "Loyalty" - there was Archie, and the end of the war - which meant him losing his first command, *and* being stuck on land away from all his (remaining) friends/associates, with nothing to do and (as he thought) no-one caring if he lived or died. Suddenly he had essentially *no* duty. *Then* he was put back in command... he'd take it damn seriously, and have no time for anything else. I mean, even more so than before.

Ooh, that'd be interesting in and of itself, seeing Horatio from anyone else's POV. I wonder what it means in terms of those events (which I'm assuming are similar in the film)? Keep me informed? I have a nagging fear that it'll mean that Horatio's actions will remain ambiguous. Well, ambiguous is probably a good thing - the twisty brain-teaser of the films, OTOH, I'm not sure I'm so fond of.
